Orange County Matcha Finest!…read more Currently, my favorite place for Matcha! I've been here since the grand opening and I absolutely love the place. I try to go off hours because this place gets really busy on weekends. The service is quick and worth the wait. What I got here is the double Matcha and boy did they make a mean one. It is the perfect sweetness at 50%. It has a very good consistency. I also recommend getting the salted bread.

WOWOWOWOW. Delicious!…read more One of the best matcha drinks ever. The matcha here really shines. They do matcha in a really simple, yet delicious way. The matcha is incredibly smooth and creamy. The drinks are not too sweet, the salt levels are perfect, and have a great ratio of matcha! I will say I think the matcha flavor could be punchier, but I think the way they've done it really appeals to the masses. The matcha is also not really bitter which I am really impressed by! Because it's not bitter, the naturally sweet, creamy, and savory/earthy notes really come through. My husband and I tried the M2 and the Mango Matcha. Both were AMAZING! The mango matcha was sweeter and a good balance between the two flavors. The M2 was straight matcha flavor and so pure. Your preference on whether you like sweet or heavier on the matcha will dictate what will be your favorite. We also tried the Black Sesame Coffee and WOWEE was it great! The coffee was STRONG. Really good coffee. Loved it! And the black sesame was super flavorful. Now let's talk about the game changer...THE SALT BREAD! If you are there and it's not sold out, do yourself a favor and just get it. (P.S. I've heard that the salt bread sells out early) I LOVED THE SALT BREAD! It was actually the perfect bread to match the drinks. I loved taking a sip of the drink and following it up with a bite of the salt bread. The bread had a crispy outside and a beautiful salty, buttery flavor. Loved the crunchy outside with the airy inside. Such a good pastry. I came Saturday around 10am and the wait was about 30 minutes. The line moved quick and once they took our order, the drinks came out SO FAST. The service was AMAZING! The workers were so kind and we really enjoyed our interactions with them. AYER, GREAT WORK! I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!!!

There is both indoors and outdoor seating - making it a great place to study or catch up with a friend. The staff here is super friendly, kind, and genuinely helpful which makes the experience even better. Ordered the following Summer Menu: - Pistachio Latte: slightly sweet, nutty and smooth - Sunset: if you are feeling coffee and citrus - Apricot Hojicha: roasted green tea flavor with a hint of fruit - Strawberry Matcha: light, creamy, and not overly sweet Overall, the Summer Menu had a fun variety of drinks to try depending on your mood! I personally really liked the pistachio latte which was nutty and lightly sweet without being overwhelming. Definitely would like to come again to try their other drinks!

raised by lions has to be one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. i love that there are so…read moremany different flavors and options, so it never feels boring no matter how many times you go. i also think it's super sweet that they have drinks named after some of their regulars and staff. it gives the whole place a really personal, community feel. the shop itself is always such a vibe too. it's cozy but still lively, and it feels like the kind of place you can either sit and catch up with someone or just hang out by yourself for a bit. the staff have always been friendly and helpful, even when it gets busy. i've tried a number of items from their food and drink menus, and nothing has been a disappointment thus far. it's the perfect morning or weekend stop to spend some time and hang around with a nicely crafted drink.

I've had my eye on Morning Lavendar for a while as I was particularly drawn to the their afternoon…read moretea experience. I could hold off no longer and had to visit this charming boutique with cascading blush and ivory. A breathtaking floral wall welcomes you inside and invites you to take a seat. As you enter, greetings from staff echo from the counter. Do you check out the shop or grab a drink and browse? Whatever you do, do not skip the banana cold foam on your drink if you love banana! The hospitality here is evident the moment you walk in. Staff were ready to take our order, answer questions and even checked to see if our drinks were to our liking. Think fashionable design meets European charm for the interior atmosphere, right down to the plates. Morning Lavender offers table seating as well as booths and can accommodate large parties for events. Now for the good stuff- let's talk an Iced Mocha with extra chocolate and an Iced Chai Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The Mocha with extra chocolate was indulgent and velvety with the espresso seamlessly intertwined. A decadent treat to enjoy as the morning started to warm up into the afternoon. Just a suggestion for those who enjoy the richer side of coffee and espresso. A dash of a bit more cream would've added that refined richness. The star of the morning was definitely the Iced Chia Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The description of cold cream hardly captures and embodies what this Banana Cold Foam really is. Think lusciously thick banana smoothie topping off your drink. Impossibly creamy and bursting with ripe banana. Crowning the drink sat a slice of banana bathed on one side in a caramelized sauce similar to crème brûlée. Crunchy peanuts generously scattered on top, making an irresistible contrast in texture. This drink was truly an exceptional culinary experience. I will be back again and again for the Banana Cold Foam.

Food was just ok. Best sandwich was the tuna and the cream cheese & dill sandwich had no flavor to it. The scones were really good but they need to give more clotted cream. For the afternoon tea dessert, the macaron wasn't great, but vegan donut was good. Tea came out lukewarm, until hot water refills came out. Did not refill waters as often. $44 per person plus added 18% gratuity for groups under 7, is bit expensive for what you get.

It was nice to sip a cold drink while driving home.

Kean Coffee has been a coffee staple in OC for a couple decades, and in my opinion was one (if not…read morethe) of the original craft coffee house that is truly above the rest. They roast their own coffee in house for starters, and have a menu that gives you plenty of options that will satisfy even the pickiest of coffee drinkers. The baristas know their craft, and will be patient and take care of you if you are new to coffee and starting out! Inside the cafe is a dream, you definitely will feel like you are a part of the show as so much happens behind the counter. It isn't too loud for a date or to study, and there is plenty of space for even a solo night out. My go to here will always be the coffee shakes. These are hands down what separates Kean from anything else! I prefer the dark chocolate but honestly I don't know how they perfected this drink. The boba straw is appreciated as the drink is THICK. Give Kean coffee a try, and I promise you this will be on your list of cafes to visit on the regular.

I came to Kean Coffee to get some work done since I saw they had a large seating area. However when…read moreI arrived most of the tables were taken. I didn't see many outlets. I use my hotspot for internet but another customer was asking me for wifi, in which I recommend they ask the business. The noise level was high with a lot of folks coming here to chat over coffee. I decided on their iced Caffe Borgia ($7) with regular whole milk and a Roasted Veggie Quiche ($8.50) because they were out of the meaty quiche I would have preferred to order. The quiche was okay but pricey for a snack. The iced caffe Borgia comes served in a glass if you dine in. I didn't really like the coffee though. As a coffee lover, it's rare I don't like a coffee spot but I actually tossed most of the drink. Definitely not looking to come back. It doesn't really have the atmosphere I enjoy or products I like to consume.
